Abstract: A device for changing the orientation of a strap is disclosed. The device includes a twist neck (12,14,16) that is used in strapping machines. The twist neck includes an ingress portion (22), which includes an ingress opening (26) formed therein, and a middle portion (24). The middle portion includes a pathway (34) formed therein. The pathway has a cross-sectional shape that is substantially similar to the cross-sectional shape of a strap (S) that is used in the strapping machine. A strap is urged into the ingress opening (26) in a first orientation and into the pathway (34), which itself is in a second orientation. When the strap exits the egress opening (40), it will be in the second orientation. A user can manipulate the orientation of the associated strap by changing the orientation of the pathway (34).

Abstract: One set of syndromes is calculated (102) from a first data string from among a plurality thereof including at least 2t+1 symbols as a parity string, and coefficients of an error locator polynomial are calculated (103) from the one set of the syndromes. Whether or not a correction is successful is judged (104) by using the coefficients of the error locator polynomial and the same calculation is performed for a second data string if a correction failure is judged. Contrarily, if a correction success is judged, an error of the first data string is corrected (105) by using the aforementioned set of the syndromes and the coefficients of the error locator polynomial.

Abstract: A WDM optical transmission system of the invention: detects an optical waveform of an intensity-modulated optical signal adjacent to a phase-modulated optical signal in a wavelength range; calculates a phase modulation drive waveform for canceling XPM of the phase-modulated optical signal affected by the adjacent intensity-modulated optical signal in the optical transmission path, based on the detected result; and additionally phase-modulates the phase-modulated optical signal synchronously with the adjacent intensity-modulated optical signal, according to the drive waveform, to thereby compensate the XPM. As a result, excellent transmission characteristics can be realized.

Abstract: A GPRS system is provided which is capable of realizing speed-up of PDP context establishment and reduction of call connection time. At the time of the PDP context establishment, it is made possible to carry out bearer setting between an MS and an SGSN and bearer setting between the SGSN and a GGSN independently from each other. The SGSN can select a flexible bearer setting procedure based upon traffic data and the like (stored contents of a history database) managed in its own node. For example, in the case in which the SGSN can judge that both the bearer between the MS and the SGSN and the bearer between the SGSN and the GGSN have room, the SGSN executes the respective bearer setting substantially simultaneously.

Abstract: A blower having a fan mounted perpendicularly relative to an airflow discharge port. The fan is disposed within a volute formed in the housing at a rear area of the housing. This places the volute slightly behind the user's leg or hip when the blower is suspended or being held by a user along one side of the user's body. This significantly increases the ergonomics, efficiency and comfort of the blower by allowing the blower to rest more comfortably along the user's side without interference from the volute portion of the housing. This also allows the motor to be located directly underneath the handle of the housing to provide a better balance and feel to the housing when the user is holding onto the blower via the handle.

Abstract: In a print job processing method, even if a user does not designate whether or not to perform a pause print in each print request, it is possible to at least automatically perform a print in an appropriate print mode. To do so, if a print apparatus for executing a print job is selected, an attribute of the selected print apparatus is determined. Then, if the determined attribute is within a permissible range for immediately performing the print job, the print apparatus immediately performs the print job. On the other hand, if the determined attribute is not within the permissible range, the print apparatus sets the print job to a pause print job. Further, the print apparatus determines an attribute of the received print job, and determines based on the determined attribute whether or not to perform a pause print based on the received print job.
